Post-Tubes

by Holly

Eli has Reactive Airway again. So we are doing albuterol and steroids with the nebulizer as well as an oral steroid and have started daily Zyrtec. He's taking it as well as you would expect an almost 2-year-old to. He's pretty wheezy and has a cough, but the docs felt okay to go ahead with the tubes, so we had that done early this morning. We were in the waiting room 20 minutes before the doctor was back out telling us all was fine. Amazing. Eli's been quite cranky today and only took a few catnaps but nothing substantial. Justin and I can hear his ears crackling so that's got to be maddening inside his head. Lots of drainage, but hopefully it will stop soon and he will regain his hearing and decrease these infections.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. We know this is a minor procedure, but as parents of little ones, nothing is minor when its your child. An added blessing today was two of our friends from our new Sunday School class bringing us a wonderful meal. It was delicious and felt so good to be cared for!
